Pieces of Yesteryears

I love canning jars and milk bottles.

The color of this is cornflower blue.
All the others I have are aqua.
This is my favorite. 


We collected and used them 
for my daughter's reception
and my son's rehearsal dinner.



We had so many flowers 
that we gave them away, 
jars and all.  

A day later, 
I was just sick
with REGRET!


This is the first milk bottle
that's I've found since then,
that's within my price range. 

My budget is $3 for bottles
and $5 for jars.


I also bought the milk stool at the estate sale.

You would not believe how many 
of these I have sold!
This one I will keep.

A milking stool and a milk bottle-
pieces of yesteryears. 
Oh, the stories my mama would tell!


During the ice storm
and no coffee,
we thought about using this
on the gas grill.

Hey, it could happen!

Hope your day has been as sunny as mine. 
Loving 73 degrees and wind blowing.

  3. Oh yes, milk bottles and canning jars..love them also.

    Do you do a lot of canning, or are they for decorations only.

    My friend gave me canned ochre and dill pickles and they looked so darling in the jars I put cute cloth tops on them and they are on my little display shelf in the kitchen.

  6. Bonnie, I have so many regrets about items sold or given away in the past that I could write a book. But you can't keep everything I guess. I wish I had my old blue canning jars too. I did find 3 last summer so that will have to do me..Happy Tuesday..Judy
